Hit 500 yards of carpet today without a single seam issue

I've been installing for 12 years and never kept track, but today my helper pointed out we laid 500 yards this month with zero callbacks. Anyone else ever hit a clean milestone like that and have it feel better than a big paycheck?

Bet your back's begging for a day off now.

49-year-old here and honestly my back is fine, it's my knees that hate me after a long day on my feet.

Nancy's right on the money with that one, @nancyj11. My lower back sends me a message about two hours before my shift ends, like a countdown to when I can finally sit down. It's not a sharp pain or anything, more like a dull ache that just gets heavier and heavier as the day goes on. I've tried those standing mats and different shoes, but nothing really fixes it completely. Maybe it's just the price we pay for being on our feet all day, but man, a good chair at the end of the night feels like winning the lottery.
